Brotheinae
G. A. K. Marshall, 1907: 89 [stem: Brothe-]. Type genus:
Brotheus
Stephens, 1829. Comment: junior homonym of
Brotheini
Simon, 1879 in Scorpiones (type genus
Brotheas
C. L. Koch, 1837); this case is to be referred to the Commission to remove the homonymy (Art. 55.3.1).
Brotheusini
Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal, 2006: 24 [stem: Brotheus-]. Type genus:
Brotheus
Stephens, 1829. Comment: unnecessary replacement name for
Brotheinae
Marshall, 1907 because of the homonymy of the family-group name;
Brotheinae
/-ini/-ina Simon, 1879 (type genus
Brotheas
C. L. Koch, 1837) has been used as valid in Scorpiones in recent literature, e.g., Prendini
and
W. C. Wheeler (2005); the stem used by Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (2006) was chosen in accordance with Art. 29.6.
